Root-Ping

Detailed connection analytics — owns /ping, shows latency + server load, and writes rich MySQL samples. Interactive dashboards (timelines, host compare, load correlation) are on the roadmap and will read the same tables.

Paper 26.x Needs Root-Core Loading version…

Download jar Spigot resource → bStats metrics → Root-Core → Versioning →

Install

Install Root-Core first (MySQL settings + RootMC config folder).
Drop root-ping-*.jar into plugins/ (or let Core auto-update from the manifest).
Config: plugins/RootMC/root-ping.yml (created on first enable).
Restart Paper after jar install.

Commands

/ping — latency + TPS / MSPT / online / heap (/latency)
/ping reload — reload config (rootping.admin)

What is sampled

On /ping and on a timer (default every 5 minutes), Root-Ping appends a row to {prefix}ping_samples when MySQL is configured: ping, client brand/protocol/locale/view distance, virtual host, host label, TPS/MSPT, heap, CPU, disk.

Roadmap: interactive web analytics (player timelines, Claims vs Towny compare, load correlation, ops filters) will use this same collector — no second instrumentation.

Permissions

rootping.use — use /ping (default: true)
rootping.admin — reload (default: op)
